Venezuela Coverage Takes Us Back to Golden Age of Lying About Latin America
CNN was ridiculed recently (Redacted Tonight, 2/1/19) when it carried a report on Venezuela, “in the socialist utopia that now leaves virtually every stomach empty,” followed immediately with a cut to a demonstration by the right-wing opposition, where everybody appeared to be quite well-fed.

Look at the info being presented, it's factual, verifiable and about real economic issues. Examine the economic fundamentals of why Venezuela's economy is in such a mess, it's about much more than just US sanctions. That CNN article was just the first one I clicked on but there were a bunch of others stating a similar story.
Here's four more that examine the financial crisis in Venezuela, you might note that it's not just pinned on US foreign policy. I think your hate for your own political regime colours your perception at times.

It seems that a large part of the world sees the crisis in Venezuela having certain causes and you and your truth dig article want to pin it on something else. You losing the plot is simply a case of being overly selective with your information sources and their angle.
